Thanks for this tip. I only recently began using a dual monitor setup and I still have a lot to learn on how to use it properly.

The two monitor thing's never worked too well for me, but maybe it's a problem with my laptop. Some people at work have three monitor set ups now. I'm very jealous, they look well cool!

Hi jayb, thanks for the tip. I'm planning to buy a second monitor, but still not sure if my favorite apps will support the setup.

I have always wanted to try that and run two monitors beside each other. I think it would be easier on my eyes. It is good to know some of the tricks to make this whole process easier when I'm ready. I just bought a second hand computer and await the delivery in the next few days, thenIi can try this.

I used to have this problem and had a software to deal with it. Cant remember the name now, since that was more then a year ago. I checked this Ultramon right now, and it does something similar. It could help.

I've been having the same problem lately. I try to use remote desktop to access the two-monitor setup that I use at the office. I use basically the same steps as you, with a few minor exceptions. It works - and I'm definitely no computer whiz.

@cash4gold thanks for the link. I'll have to checkout the software, its not free but it looks very useful

@Paul One of my monitors is my LCD on my notebook, docking and un-docking as well as applications that are not writing for dual monitors can be a big problem.

Thanks to both of you for visiting and commenting. Have a great day.

Oh, I have this problem frequently. I don't have the same setup as you, but I do use remote desktop to access my dual-monitor setup at work. I use the same procedures as above. It seems like it should be easy to fix the problem for good though. Your configuration is probably less common than mine.

Hi jayb,

there's a very cool software called UltraMon. it creates a "smart" taskbar for each monitor. you should check it out.
